The kernel sources (.src.rpm) are available at: RHEL 4 (and its clones): http://vps-demo.freevps.com/snapshots/srpms26/ RHEL 3 (and its clones): http://vps-demo.freevps.com/snapshots/srpms/ Best Regards

Maybe you have a kernel-freevps-1.4-9 with SCSI support ? Can you give url?

I need only 1.4-9 because after update to 1.5.x in virtual servers mysql socket creates not properly .

Thanks .

It is require to: - Download and install FreeVPS kernel sources package: kernel-freevps-x.x-x.src.rpm - Enter .spec files directory and prepare kernel sources: /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ rpmbuild -bp freevps-kernel.spec - Prepared sources will be located at: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-freevps-x.x.x/linux-x.x.x Then, according to your drivers add-on documentation patch the FreeVPS kernel sources with the driver sources, and build the kernel. Best Regards

Hello,

If you have your SCSI hardware support drivers you can rebuild FreeVPS kernel with them like any native linux kernel.

It is require to:
- Download and install FreeVPS kernel sources package:
kernel-freevps-x.x-x.src.rpm
- Enter .spec files directory and prepare kernel sources:
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
rpmbuild -bp freevps-kernel.spec
- Prepared sources will be located at:
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-freevps-x.x.x/linux-x.x.x

Then, according to your drivers add-on documentation patch the FreeVPS kernel sources with the driver sources, and build the kernel.

Best Regards
